Great Week at Diamond of Destiny

Review Submitted: 07/19/11
My family and I have been coming to the Gulf for 20 plus years for vacation. With the addition of sons and daughters-in-laws and grandchildren, our needs have changed throughout the years. This year we decided to try a beach house. After looking at several, we picked Diamond of Destiny in the community of Destiny by the Sea. Wonderful choice! Even with 14 people, we never felt crowded. Plenty of room for everyone to come together for meals, and enough room for everyone to have some privacy. The furnishings are beautiful. Enjoyed being right on the beach and having the community pool just a short walk away. Enjoyed the bikes and the proximity of restaurants and shopping. The weather was perfect. Dinner one evening at Capt. Dave's on the Gulf was delicious, and walked to the Crab Trap for appetizers and drinks one day overlooking the beautiful gulf waters. Had some seaweed in the ocean one day, but still enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the otherwise clear water. Tile floors are user-friendly for coming off the beach, and really loved the balconies for ocean views. Everyone had a wonderful time no matter what age - from 3 years to 78 years! Will definitely plan to return, and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing beach vacation.
Owner response:Thank you very much for your comments. We certainly enjoyed having you as our guests and look forward to seeing you again next year.

I have 5 grandchildren between the ages of 4 and 10. I spent hours every day chasing crabs and small fish on the beach. My wife said I had to slow down, but this is the one week of the year I have to connect like this with them. A trip the second day to the pharmacy and a big bottle of advil and I was good to go. It may take me a year to recover from all the fun we had, but I’ll be ready again next year. Seeing the joy in their eyes, giggling, and occasionally a scream when a crab got a little to close was priceless. As long as this grandpa is around, I’ll be doing this trip every year with the kids and grandkids. The Diamond of Destiny is the perfect place for this. Beautiful home, beautiful beach, and beautiful and safe neighborhood.
Owner response:Thank you for your review. I hope that advil worked.

Perfect Family Vacation Home!

Our family rented this home at the end of April 2011. There were 8 adults and 4 kids with plenty of room and beds for everyone. The house is in excellent condition and right on the beach! This is a private beach with your own personal beach chairs/umbrellas set up for you each morning. Ideal location for access to local restaurants and groceries as well. We had an issue with getting the wireless internet to work and the owner had a new router to the house the next day! Highly recommend this beachfront home for any family looking for a perfect beach getaway!
Owner response:Thank you for your review. This was a wonderful group of families ( from the great state of Tennessee ) with lovely children. It was great having them enjoy the Diamond of Destiny beach house. We just love seeing kids on the beach playing in the waves while their parents are running after them trying to put sunscreen on them. The parents rode bikes around the neighborhood and hopefully had a little time to themselves after all the kids were asleep ( from a day at the beach ) each night. Its great when families make memories that will last a lifetime in our property.

We had a wonderful stay at Diamond of Destiny. We had a group of moms and high school daughters on spring break. The house was beautiful. The floor plan was perfect for us. The entire first floor was for the girls:they loved that. The other floors accommodated all our other needs. The location was great between 30A and Fort Walton. We ate at restaurants in both areas. The close location to the Crab Trap was the best. The girls "and sometimes moms" would walk there right from the beach for lunch. The beach rentals were wonderful too. Every morning they would be set up just waiting for us. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
Owner response:One of our most favorite groups to ever stay a the Diamond of Destiny. Moms and daughters making memories that will last a life time is the perfect use for our home. Thank you for being our guests.

A Great Place to stay in Destin

The Diamond of Destiny and Destiny by the Sea are a great place to stay in Destin for a vacation. Our family including the kids and grandkids are stay this week in the Diamond of Destiny. We hate to go home tomorrow. So far, it has been six days of wonderful times. The beaches have been beautiful. The home has been wonderful. And my family has connected again like I had hoped for. We are 12 in number total and we still have plenty of room. We are already planning our vacation next year at the Diamond of Destiny. You cannot beat being all in one location. Eating together, going to the beach together, and generally spending some quality time together and making memories that we will always cherish. My wife and I agree. A week together with our kids and grandkids is the best present we could have given to our family and to ourselves. Our photo album will be packed with this year's trip.
Owner response:Thank you so much for your review. Please send us a copy of those photos. LOL...Nice family...

Beutiful Romatic Week at the Diamond of Destiny

Review Submitted: 07/26/10
My husband and I had a romantic week at the Diamond of Destiny recently. We had our three children along, but after our family had a fantastic day at the beach or fishing and enjoy the restaurants in Destin, my husband and I still had time for a glass of wine on the terrace of the master bedroom overlooking the gulf of Mexico. The moonlight on the ocean is quite romantic late at night while listening to the sound of the waves on the beach. Even after 15 yrs of marriage my husband seemed inspired by the setting. The house couldn't have been better for our family. It is large with five bedrooms so everyone had more than enough space. The house is perfect for cookouts, family breakfast, or a quick lunch before heading back down to the beach. We added many friends ,that we met, to our list while enjoying the beach. Destiny by the Sea and the Diamond of Destiny are truly a unique location and our family thouroughly enjoyed our visit to Destin. It was relaxing and exciting at the same time. The owner was more than friendly but everything in the house worked perfectly and we only needed a little advice on what restaurants to take our family to. We will definitely be back next year.

A Vacation Fantasy Come True

We stayed at the Diamond of Destiny for a week and loved it. The home is more beautiful than the photos. The home was spotless clean when we arrived. The owner was helpful by suggesting attractions in Destin for us to enjoy. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a first class vacation in a beautiful neighborhood. The Diamond of Destiny is a beautiful and great place to spend a week. The new decorations and remodeling are fabulous. We played golf and went to the water park during our visit. The restaurants and bars in Destin are close by and the food and nightlife were first rate. We can not wait until next year to return to the Diamond and have another great time.
Owner response:Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I will pass your comments on to housekeeping. They take great pride in the home and love getting compliments. Who doesn't ?

The Diamond of Destiny was the ultimate vacation spot for our family !!!

Review Submitted: 07/25/10
After reviewing what seemed like hundreds of vacation locations for our family, we decided on the Diamond of Destiny in Destiny by the Sea. There were 12 in our group. 2 grandparents, 3 kids and spouses, and 4 grandchildren. The beaches were beautiful and the house was great and the we had more than enough room for our large clan. The neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous. The grandkids chased crabs in the water as their parents chased them to keep sunscreen on them. I was proud to have supplied a wonderful experience for my family. We were able to stay all in one location and cook and eat together. I grilled a few nights with a little help from my son, and I must admit, I got quite a few compliments on my cooking prowess. The home is a beautiful piece of property to keep your whole family in one location during your entire vacation. You don't have to be in multiple hotel rooms and separated from each other even for breakfast. Just get up a little earlier than the rest of your family and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee on the living room balcony while listening to the gentle waves of the gulf in the background.
Owner response:I am so glad you had a great time. What a wonderful group. I am glad grandpa got a little " me time " with his coffee.

We do not have renters stay at the Diamond of Destiny. We have guests that reserve the property for their family to enjoy the ultimate vacation. Our guest book in the beach house is full of wonderful comments from the families that have stayed with us over the years. We have enjoyed meeting our guests and seeing their families enjoy this property on the most beautiful beach in the world. And after dark Destin is the ultimate resort setting with wonderful restaurants, fun activities, exciting shopping, and even energetic bars and clubs for the younger crowd. Discover what hundreds of thousands have. Destin is the best vacation spot in the U.S.
